Joshua Wayne Holland, 27, of Boyertown, was arrested and charged with forgery, violating the Pharmacy Act, and driving under suspension after police Sgt. Timothy Walters alleged he passed a forged prescription Sunday (Dec. 30, 2012) at CVS Pharmacy, 1833 E. High St.

Walters said CVS employees indicated Holland had dropped off a prescription for the drug Oxycodone to be filled early Sunday evening. They verified the prescription was a forgery, notified police at 6:43 p.m., and said Holland was due to return to pick up the medication. He did, at 6:59 p.m., and was arrested as he waited in his vehicle within the pharmacy’s drive-through pick-up lane, police said.

“Holland admitted to police that the prescription was a forgery,” according to a department press release.

The date of his future preliminary hearing before Magisterial District Justice Edward C. Kropp Sr. was not reported.
